What is SEO?

Details
Category: Search Engine Optimisation

Well I guess I should start at the beginning, for those of you who are starting out and want to learn exactly what SEO really is. To begin with, SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimisation, and what better place to obtain the perfect meaning for SEO other than Wikipedia: Search engine optimisation is a set of methods aimed at improving the ranking of a website in search engine listings.

So the main aim in SEO is to get your website to the top or as high as possible to the top of search engine listings. There are ethical and unethical methods of achieving this, but I believe in only using ethical ways and will focus on these only. Many search engines will penalise domains for "cheating".

I will try my hardest to blog on SEO or tips on the topic, whether it be on site architecture, page content, or finding the suitable directories. My plan is to share as much as I can with you and who knows, maybe I can learn from you too!

Footnote: In some countries, for example the United States, the spelling is Search Engine Optimization. Google's definition of SEO is an abbreviation for "search engine optimizer".
